I pushed N images and meta info to remote repository, then remove all data locally.

After some time my colleague want download this dataset, but not fully - he filter meta info and he knows paths to necessary images.

Is there a way download part of data from remote repository?

Hi @miraina!

> Is there a way download part of data

Yes! Per [https://github.com/iterative/dvc/pull/3002](https://github.com/iterative/dvc/pull/3002) and [get/import: retrieve files inside directory outs · Pull Request #3309 · iterative/dvc · GitHub](https://github.com/iterative/dvc/pull/3309) you should now be able to specify paths to pull/import. Our docs are currently still outdated about this though, it seems… But feel free to take a look at those PRs and try it, and please find us in dvc.or/chat if you have specific usage questions – it may be a little faster to get answers over there.
